We’re no longer a minivan driving family but I certainly appreciate and sometimes miss all the perks that comes with driving one. When our kids were small, having a minivan was invaluable and made life on the road so much easier.

What I miss the most about not driving a minivan: the space. Hands down, having that extra space for the kiddos is a great perk with a minivan and you’ll see below how great the space is in the Pacifica!

I’m constantly amazed each year as car companies come up with better and better options for families in their minivans. If you have little ones and are in the market, here’s an amazing contest and a little bit about the Chrysler Pacifica that’s going to make you want to enter and have you crossing all fingers and toes that you win.

Features on the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica:

1. It’s the quietest vehicle in its class – which is much appreciated when you’re a Mom and getting hit with noise from all sorts of places.

2. Stow n Go seating – seats can be folded down and stowed away in the floor easily and quickly when you have something big you need to transport

3. Stow n Vac –An integrated vacuum – score! Anyone who has kids doesn’t need to hear why this is awesome for the many stray Goldfish and Cheerios you’re going to find in your car.

4. Lift Gate –One of my favorite features in my minivan was the lift gate. I always felt sorry for the Moms in the parking lot who had minivans without the power gate in the back. There’s nothing more annoying than coming back to your car with acart full of goodies and kids who are messing around. Not having to find your keys or to open up the trunk is awesome.

Ummm, OMG! And this is one of those times where I sound 100 and I say, why couldn’t we have had cool products like this when my kids were little! Seriously, built-in touch screens, Bluetooth, USB?!?! It’s dreamy sounding. I also had to laugh a little at the built in Are We There Yet trip tracker. Clever.

7. Hybrid & MPG Efficiency –It’s the world’s first and only Hybrid Minivan with 80MPG. This is huge people. And pretty amazing.

I asked Nate (12) and Cole (9) what they missed the most and what they thought was the coolest about the features in the Pacifica and they were all about the theater system. (Have to admit, the touch screen tablets at 10 inches are pretty sweet for keeping the kiddos entertained – especially when you’re on a long road trip!)

So, besides buying one for yourself, how can you check one out?

Here’s a really adorable video you can check out that has real life families checking out the Pacifica:

Great fan of this quality of vehicle.
I would love and desperately need new reliable dependable wheels. I transport precious cargo and it’s great for our grandchildren. Foster kiddies and travel.
Reliability Is a must and feeling safe and comfortable adds to a great experience. THIS WOULD BE OUR WISH FOR THE NEW YEAR.
REGARDS PENNY STEWART…BLESSING GST IN 2017 TO ALL THOSE THAT DESIGNED THIS VEHICLE
